Caviar Mask

Caviar is usually associated with fancy date night, but it has a beauty benefit you'll enjoy. Aside from its rich flavor and aphrodisiac properties, caviar also has several anti-aging benefits. Caviar, eggs that are carefully extracted from certain fish, are rich in antioxidants, omega-3 and omega-6, protein and hydrating properties. Because of these properties, Caviar is believed to help with the production of collagen, minimizes inflammation, fights UVA and UVB damage, and deeply nourishes the skin with intense hydration.
